Let me Take You On An Aventurine

(This article is a fragment that I intend to round out and complete later).

Aventurine is a semi-translucent variety of quartz that comes in several different colors: green, brown, peach, blue and yellow. However, it is often dyed. I do my best to purchase aventurine that is natural in color. It usually has shimmering mica inclusions, which make it particularly attractive.

Aventurine is a "luck" stone in any color, although if that's what you're looking for, green is particularly powerful. It helps make decisions from the heart and is also good for comfort, support and balance.
